Question 1

Sir, I have been experiencing fever, productive cough, headache, and general weakness. I recently underwent a Widal test and a urine test. The results are as follows:
Widal Test:
S. Typhi O: 1:160
S. Typhi H: 1:80
S. Typhi A: 1:20
S. Typhi B: 1:20
Urine Report:
Pus cells: 12 to 15
RBC: 0 to 1
Epithelial cells: 4 to 5
Protein: Traces
Sugar : Nil
Crystals: Nil
I also had a Rapid Antigen test for COVID, which was negative. Could you please help me understand what these reports indicate and what might be causing my symptoms?
Thank you.

Question 2

I started having a fever, and since then, my doctor has been prescribing antibiotics. My question is whether consuming antibiotics for the past 9 days will affect the results of the Widal test. Can positive results turn into false negatives after taking antibiotics?

Question 3

Hi. In my Widal test report, S. typhi O is 1:320 and S. typhi H is 1:80. I started having fever on 6th November. After one week, I vomited three times a day and had loose motions, so I took two drips a day and medicines to stop the loose motions and vomiting. My blood pressure also went down to 80 by 60. Since 13th November until now, I have had loose motions and slight fever. I also experience stomach pain and bloating. I feel tired almost all day long. Is it typhoid or something else?

My test report shows Salmonella typhi O is 1:160 and Salmonella typhi H is 1:80. Do I have typhoid fever? I have a fever every evening. After treatment, my ESR report is 18. I am 24 years old. I need a helpful answer.

Suggestive of typhoid if symptoms like evening fever, fatigue continue. Post-treatment ESR 18 is mildly elevated. If symptoms persist, retesting advised.
